Does she still crow about all the screenshots of nothing important that she took when she got access to the "Knights" section of the KOF forum?

I'll bet she does.


yep... I stashed ALL EBs posts in my secret batcave...


Oh. Hey.

I only miss certain people from Alt.flame who had very unique writing styles and who were very entertaining.


2-Belo's epic takedown of Maryanne Kehoe was a thing of beauty.

The Stainless Steel Moviegoer was a fun read, as was Checkmate and others whose nyms I can no longer recall off the top of my head.



Although they could be entertaining I don't miss the cascades, alt-caps, and other nonsense.



Some of the ASCII art was entertaining as well.

Quote from: iron horse jockeyI didn't know she did chops. I knew Blazor did. I know caskur does too, but I don't get along with her, so I can't ask her to do a chop or two of me.

I don't want to make it weird by hyping up cw_'s chops too much but I could if I wanted to. LoL

Poppy's contribution to the Flame archive is too long (10,410 chars whereas only 10,000 are allowed) to be included in one post.



Sorry.

They had a KOF hall of flame and there was maybe 3 flames in it.


Closer to 50 and wasn't one of them yours (posting as "fluffymeows")?

You ungrateful twat. LoL

Wasn't Caskur in KOF then she demanded they kick her out because she was so embarrassed by it?


Caskur was "included" near the end when Riotgear and his collaborators were intentionally fucking everything up for shits and giggles.

She was a mere tool, but worked well for that purpose.

Nothing says "this is shite" like making Caskur an insider.

I'll bet she does.

You guys were in Acronym Finder?  I didn't know you were famous.

You can probably thank Obi/ThWAP for that... it's the kind of thing he'd do.

Okay the genesis of the KOF phenomenon is sort of funny, so:



A bunch of us had been aggressively moshing around in a newsgroup (w.katzenjammer).



Behind the scenes, in email, we began communicating and discovered that we actually liked each other.



One day a fellow who went by Riotgear in the newsgroup declared that we were like digital knights, and in fact whether we liked it or not we were all part of something called "Order Of The Illustrious Katzenjammer Knights Of Fire".



Like most everything else we did in public we took it to absurd levels... knight/medieval themed avatars and signatures, etc.



The reactions we got made it all worth it and provided much amusement.



"OOTIKKOF" eventually became "OOTIKOF" when a fair number of us no longer posted in or even had access to the MSNTV katzenjammer newsgroup.



...and that's about it, really.

I only read the archives, I doubt anyone posts in alt.flame anymore except viagra bots.


I checked and my eternal-september account still worked.

When I downloaded the headers for alt.flame it fetched less than 200 articles, almost entirely spam and fruitcakes.



In 2022 there have only been about a half-dozen posts, according to eternal-september.



*sigh*

It seems like Vitty, Bones, Mulder, KM, Flea, and Ceedub are having a private party and not inviting the non flamers. Bring us up to speed. What the fuck is KOF?


KOF *was* a motley collection of folk who met in the WebTV/MSNTV newsgroups.

We had so much fun picking on each other and flaming anyone else who showed up that people started taking the whole thing way more seriously than we took ourselves.



Eventually WebTV/MSNTV folded and the whole KOF thing faded into the fevered memories of people like Poppy who STILL take the whole thing more seriously than we ever did.



Needless to say it's not relevant at all now because it only exists as a mention in various usenet/web archives.

Something just occurred to me, Poppy.



Do you still visit alt.flame, Flonk, The Nose, or any other usenet groups?

If so, is there anything left other than bots and maniacs chronicling their experiences with EMP mind control attacks?



I still have a newsreader and I'm sure I could find an NNTP server (is eternal-september still a thing?).

If it's just a vast digital wasteland I don't expect I'll bother though.

I know you think I'm trolling but I'm not, I swear.


No, I didn't think that at all.

I'm just exploring the possibility that the events unfolded slightly differently than you remember them.

He called himself Rukia Kuchiki and sported this avatar of a little Japanese girl in lingerie. This guy was flirting with him nonstop and he was all excited about it.


If Maxis had bothered to take 20 seconds and do a search on that name (like I just did) he would have known it was a fictional anime/manga character.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukia_Kuchiki">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukia_Kuchiki



...which brings me back to the idea that Maxis did kinda bring this on himself and that's hilarious.

It almost makes me wish I could have seen it happen in real time.
